Popis: A simple ergometer is described that allows highly reproducible plethysmographic measurements of blood flow to be made within 10 seconds of ceasing rhythmic quantitated exercise of the calf muscle. A power output of some 25 Watts is developed with a mechanical efficiency of some 20%. The device seems applicable to a variety of clinical assessments.
